Yes it will copy the system locked files, but you can take a coffee 
break while it does. I've reverted to the same outline as used with 
xxcopy. Excluding the open files and handling the registry with 
ERUNT & batch files. Much quicker.

It's not nearly as space efficient as xxcopy, and generates some 
whopper data files. But as a result the logging is something to 
behold. Providing it's not doing whatever it does on open files I 
think it takes a shortcut through Hyperspace on the rest. Replaces 
the /L switch with "Simulated Runs". Can stop and indicate 
differences or not on each profile of a group. (Where profile = 
xxcopy command file and group = batch file of command files.)

It certainly doesn't replace xxcopy (although it could!). But adds 
another dimension to organizating batch operations. And as the name 
implies, it adds a true Synchronize capability vs. straight copying. 
Getting around the 4 possible ways with 2 machines that needs to be 
considered with xxcopy.

The #1 logical difference for me was it understands that Exclusions 
apply to both sides of the operation. (It took awhile with xxcopy 
for it to register they only applied to the source.) And it has 
Include capability satisfying the Include file wish. Although I'm 
pretty sure this operates only within the base source & destination, 
leaving Grouping for multiple sources & destinations per job.
